Essential Web3 Trading Tools

The most effective platforms for on-chain trading success

Trading Terminals and MEV Protection

In on-chain trading, having the right tools can mean the difference between capturing alpha and being front-run by bots. These specialized trading platforms offer features specifically designed for Web3 trading environments, providing MEV protection, real-time data, and efficient execution.

There are many tools outside the one I listed here, but these are the tools that I most frequently used and I found these tools sufficient enough to sustain my operation.

Trading Security Note

When using any Web3 trading tool, always:

  • Verify contract addresses before approving any transactions
  • Be cautious about token approvals - limit permissions when possible

Getting Started With On-Chain Trading Tools

For those new to on-chain trading, here's a simple process to get started:

  1. Select your primary chain - Focus on chains with high liquidity like Ethereum, BNB Chain, or Solana. This guide assume you will be using Solana.
  2. Connect to multiple trading tools - Each tool offers different advantages; using them in combination provides the most complete market view
  3. Start with small positions - Build familiarity with the tools before committing larger capital
  4. Utilize MEV protection - Whenever possible, enable MEV protection to prevent front-running and sandwich attack
  5. X/Twitter should be your main sentiment gauge - 99.9% On-chain token went to zero after some time. Get in early, watch the social sentiment, get out, profit. Rinse and repeat.

Remember that on-chain trading is highly social - staying connected to community channels and monitoring social sentiment can provide valuable trading signals beyond what technical tools can offer.
